An NFL superstar turned ex-con (Michael Vick) spent 18 months in prison for running a dogfighting ring, went bankrupt, was released from prison, seemed sufficiently contrite, renounced his old friends, found Tony Dungy as a mentor and then was signed as a backup by the Eagles, whose fans gave him a standing O during his first exhibition appearance. Weird and continues to be weird.
(Important note: My wife and I had so many arguments about the previous paragraph -- I think Vick deserves a second chance, and she thinks Vick should have to wear an electric collar during games and an electric fence should be set up in the end zone so he gets jolted every time he crosses the goal line, just so he remembers exactly what he did. I can honestly say it's the biggest disagreement we've ever had. It even surpassed the time we went to a wedding and she drunkenly accused me of flirting with the bride. Anyway, thank you for making history with my marriage, Michael Vick.)
